How? It's literally giving you info and you make the decision

AI is just expanding the data pool

First link was a study way before AI and most social media even existed
Second link is about how our social environment changed in the pandemic
Third link literally has this at the bottom of the damn page

Fourth link was about depression

Did YOU even read these??


What do these have to do with AI making it easier to search for things?

You completely missed the point of the articles, like, the whole shit just went clear over your head. It had everything to do with the effect of human interactions and how they support brain health and nothing to do with AI.

Given the length of each one and the time it took for you to reply, you more than likely skimmed them or, as I said, ran them through AI for a summary.

Read 1 and 2 until I noticed it wasn't about AI or just was an early 2000s study. 3rd and 4th were very small and you conveniently ignored that you linked me to something that literally came from AI

Also I'm a fast reader

im doing a course online that has different challenges and all that. I try the challenge and if I hit something that stumbles me ill be honest I do ask the ai joint on where I went wrong and what the issues are. Its been helping me alot and im still learning what im supposed to be and it breaks down some of the concepts in a different way or reiterates thing in a way than the course did that help it stick

I think I have some family that's still in school. There are websites that are basically you upload what you want and someone writes the code for you. Can't recall the name. I've heard and know people that were caught. I'm super curious how those coding classes prevent students from just asking AI. I wonder if a lot of them switched from any type of homework to all in class work to prevent it

far as im concerned aint no value in just letting the AI do it for you if you dont understand it. That shit will only get you so far and if you arent able to grasp whats being done you only gonna get so far

You're veering off course though. This is about AI

The point I made is that over reliance on AI has an impact on our mental facilities.
You said it's no different than a child asking their parents, to which I counter that humans need that interpersonal communication in order to maintain our cognitive abilities and I backed that with articles.

Asking AI is far different than asking the people around you as it pertains to your mental abilities. I've said it on here repeatedly: AI is making us dumber.

 

[AP4.0]

I'll be on record saying I do believe there is a functional use for AI

It should be used as a tool but not at the expense of completely removing critical thinking or doing very basic shit

It shouldn't be used to recreate movie trailers for Friday to look like a Pixar film

Your articles still didn't mention AI (the entire point) and once again you're ignoring that one of your articles was literally by AI. I guess you're going to keep doing that because it defeats your argument

We've always had a method to summarize info. Once again.. that's not new. There are literally jobs that do that with clerks, assistants, etc. that have broken down info to give to someone to make an informed decision

How generative AI can boost highly skilled workers’ productivity | MIT Sloan

Generative AI can boost highly skilled worker productivity, if organizations establish a culture of accountability and encourage role reconfiguration.

mitsloan.mit.edu

AI had a positive effect on that group of participants: The GPT-only participants saw a 38% increase in performance compared with the control condition (no access to AI). The performance of those who were provided with both GPT and an overview was boosted even higher, with a 42.5% increase in performance compared with the control condition.

Interestingly, the researchers observed a bigger jump in performance scores for the participants in the lower half of assessed skills who used GPT-4 compared with those in the top half of assessed skills — at 43% and 17%, respectively — when they were compared with their baseline scores (i.e., no AI use).

LSE News | AI saves workers one day per week

Despite its potential, most employees (68%) have received no AI training in the past 12 months, leaving substantial efficiency gains unrealised.

www.lse.ac.uk

Contrary to popular belief, AI adoption isn’t limited to younger generations. The research makes clear that training - not generation - is the decisive factor:

• 93% of employees who receive AI training use AI in their roles, versus just 57% without training.
• Those with training are 2x more productive, saving 11 hours per week compared with 5 hours for the untrained.
• A Gen X employee who has received AI skills training in the past 12 months is achieving greater productivity benefits from AI than a Gen Z employee who has not been trained.

AI Tools Raise the Productivity of Customer-Support Agents

A measurement study of customer support agents. Agents using an AI tool handled 13.8% more inquiries per hour than agents without AI assistance. Less skilled agents benefited the most from AI. AI also accelerated learning for new agents.

www.nngroup.com

Support agents who used the AI tool could handle 13.8% more customer inquiries per hour. This difference is statistically significant at the p < 0.01 level. Furthermore, work quality improved by 1.3%, as measured by the share of customer problems that were successfully resolved. This slight increase was only marginally significant at p = 0.1. (A second measure of quality, the net-promoter score reported by the customers, was not significantly different between the two conditions. The one thing I make of this finding is that customers could not tell whether the agent employed AI to solve their problem.)

The study also found that AI assistance benefited the less-skilled and less-experienced agents the most. The lowest-performing 20% of the agents (the bottom quintile) improved their task throughput by 35% — two and a half times as much as the average agent. In contrast, the best-performing 20% of the agents (top quintile) improved their task throughput by only a few percent, and possibly not at all (because the margin of error included the zero point, which means that the improvement could have been zero).

Well my whole point has always been I view it as a tool like a calculator or assistant that's been around since before internet. I never once said anything about relying on it for every little thing like you've been trying to say in your argument

It saves us time. That's it. But it's the boogeyman that's going to make people stupid to you. I think we can end this discussion

And I've been saying you're using it in place of thinking for yourself, which can be detrimental to your overall cognitive abilities. You literally said you use it to compare two things instead of doing the work yourself; that's relying on it for "little things".

I'm fine with ending the discussion here. You see it one way, I see it another way.
